Using the bootonly ISO:

-rw-r--r--  1 root   root    153296896 mai 29 17:02 FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso

SHA1 sum:

>Description:

The bsdinstall installer fails to fetch the packages from the network because of DNS problems.

resolv.conf is a symlink to /tmp/bsdinstall../resolv.conf, which is missing.

I tried starting dhclient by hand in a shell, no luck, the file gets removed again.

>How-To-Repeat:

Boot over NFS using this technique:

>Fix:

Use the disc1 image instead.
